...good man to tackle Newark's problems. He brought to his mayoralty the reputation of a promising politician whose liberalism on the race issue could serve as a bridge between the city's blacks and whites. By another yardstick, he was not the man for the job. He had been launched in politics in 1946 by Newark Democratic Boss Dennis Carey, who was in search of a congressional candidate. "I figured," Carey once said, "that I needed a guinea with a name that long." Addonizio, a much-decorated war hero, met Carey's callous specifications. Carey delivered...

We also know from previous Census work that black residents are systematically undercounted in censuses (transiency, intentional avoidance of surveys, discrimination on the part of surveyors, etc.) by about 10 per cent. The notion of merely proportional representation in construction jobs is probably faulty, too, considering the far greater underrepresentation and lower potential for representation in white-collar occupations. And the notion of compensatory atcion is perfectly justifiable on practical and moral grounds. Thus, the University's assertion that 9.3 per cent is a "correct" figure shows not only at best sloppy...
